Praise be to Allaah. Islam is based on five pillars which the Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) has explained for us, when he said:

“Islam is built upon five [pillars]: the testimony that there is no god but Allaah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allaah; establishing regular prayer (salaah); paying the
 zakaah; Hajj (pilgrimage) and fasting Ramadaan.”

(Agreed upon; narrated by al-Bukhaari, no. 8)

First pillar of Islam :

Al-Shahaadatayn

(the twin testimony of faith

Second pillar of Islam :

Salaah 

(prayer)

Third pillar of Islam :

Zakaah (poor due, charity tax)

Fourth pillar of Islam :

(fastingin Ramadaan)

Fifth pillar of Islam :
